Ascent of Mount Moriah on 2014-03-08

Ascent Trip Report

8:10am, started hike. Reached summit at 11:42am. Reached car at 1:35pm. Pissed about being blacklisted from the Isolation hike, so I carried that part way up the mountain. A guy named Lou Dow caught up to me. Spoke with him and followed him partway up the mountain. Lou is an AMC ME trip leader and also on the board for the Chatham Trail Association. This helped distract me from my anger and also a place to do some trail work. While we were talking at the trail junction just below the summit, a gray jay was being impatient with us for wanting to be fed. After 10 minutes of talking with him, I went to feed the gray jay, but he had left. Windy at the summit and the Presidentials partially in the clouds, otherwise, great view.
